Emily Deschanel News

Bones star Emily Deschanel is encouraging moms to boycott cows' milk and embrace a vegan diet to show compassion for cattle.

The 36 year-old actress has teamed up with animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) for a new video campaign urging women to raise their children on vegan diets and stop supporting the "cruel" dairy industry.

In the video, Deschanel, who has a 20-month-old son Henry, says, "As a mother, I experience the joy of raising my son every day. But not all moms are so lucky. Mother cows on dairy farms have their young traumatically torn...

Tonight's episode of Bones, "The Shot in the Dark," is a major one for the long-running FOX series. After an incident in the Jeffersonian lab, Dr. Temperance Brennan gets a chance to come face-to-face with her past, quite literally. BFTV recently spoke with Brennan herself, star Emily Deschanel, about what happens in "The Shot in the Dark" and what it means for Brennan, Booth and audiences.

The Golden Globes are the first big awards show of the season, and the stars came out in colorful ensembles to attend one of Hollywood's most prestigious events leading up to the Academy Awards.

There were very few fashion missteps at this year's event. "Homeland" actress Morena Baccarin wore a daring black dress that showed quite a bit of cleavage (is that appropriate?), while "Ringer" star Sarah Michelle Gellar took a chance with a blue and white tie-dyed gown (too bohemian?).

There wasn't a lot of flash on the red carpet. Few stars wore sequins (Laura Dern, Madonna, Diane Lane and did)...

If Emily Deschanel’s character on the Fox TV series Bones, Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan, is decidedly awkward socially, Deschanel is anything but.

An outspoken vegan committed to animal-protection organizations like Farm Sanctuary, Deschanel, 35, and her husband, actor/writer David Hornsby, are expecting their first child this fall. (As you might be able to tell from their similarly striking blue eyes, her sister is actress-singer Zooey Deschanel.)

Fit Pregnancy magazine recently talked with her in Los Angeles during her eighth month.

Another television season has come and gone with the usual blitzkrieg of shocking deaths, double-crosses, surprise pregnancies, and aggravating cliffhangers. It was a varied batch of season finales: some were amazing; others were lackluster; and a few finales left me counting the jumping sharks. I can’t watch every finale, but here’s a sampling of the awesomely good and the appallingly bad.

Let’s break it down.

The Good:

“The Good Wife” CBS

Julianna Margulies is fantastic as Alicia Florrick, the scorned wife trying to rebuild her life after her husband’s famed infidelities. The seco...

Actress Emily Deschanel has married writer/actor David Hornsby in a small ceremony in Los Angeles.

The star and her partner exchanged vows in the Pacific Palisades area of L.A. on Saturday in an understated celebration in front of friends and family, according to People.com.

Deschanel stars as Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan on the Fox series "Bones"; and Hornsby stars as priest Matthew "Rickety Cricket" Mara on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." He also serves as a co-executive producer for the hit F/X comedy.

Avatar landed another six trophies over the weekend - dominating the Visual Effects Society's eighth annual VES Awards. James Cameron's Oscar-nominated blockbuster was the big winner at the ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday after scoring nominations in 11 categories.

The film scooped six awards including the prize for Best Single Visual Effect of the Year and Outstanding Animated Character in a Live Action Feature. Cameron was also presented with the VES Lifetime Achievement Award during the ceremony. Sherlock Holmes, Up and District 9 also won trophies at the event.

Whether you practice the vegan lifestyle (consuming no animal products) or not, it is a craze that is more common than you think. Here are a few celebrities that choose to eat leafy greens instead of our furry friends.

Alicia Silverstone would definitely rather go naked than wear fur- literally. This hot vegan bared it all in PETA's first-ever naked veggie testimonial PSA. Alicia has followed a strict vegan diet for ten years and told PETA that is has made her feel physically and spiritually better than she could have ever imagined.

Stewie Griffin, the youngest member of the Family Guy clan, makes a very unique appearance on Bones Thursday, May 7 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

In "The Critic in the Cabernet" episode, Brennan (Emily Deschanel) decides she wants to have a baby and surprises Booth (David Boreanaz) with a request to father her child. Brennan's request dredges up a host of unspoken feelings and unresolved issues between the two, and Booth becomes consumed by the prospect of having a child. The stress of the situation, coupled with Booth's undiagnosed health issue, paves the way for a surprise visit from ...

Once upon a television season, fans of police dramas and crime procedurals didn't think detectives could ever get more hard-boiled than Vic Mackey of "The Shield" or Andy Sipowicz of "NYPD Blue." Thankfully, we were wrong. Not only are there an increasing number of take-no-prisoners police detectives and home-sleuths on the case, but many of them are wearing skirts. From Poppy Montgomery, Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Roselyn Sanchez in "Without A Trace" to Kathryn Morris in "Cold Case," "Law and Order's" S. Epatha Merkerson and the women of the CSI franchise, powerful, well-written female pro...

There are a few unifying themes that you can find in almost any television show: drama, comedy, and yes, even a touch of romance. Comedies have plenty of drama (Hello Pam/Jim drama in The Office) and drama can have moments of comedy (everything Hurley says on Lost), but they all tend to have a focus on relationships. Even Law & Order, a cut and dry procedural, has a pairing here and there.

Yet there's a rule for shows that if a couple has great chemistry and sexual tension, don't let them get them together! It'll ruin the show! This has been the case a few times, but here are a few no...

Patrick Dempsey

One of TV's most beloved doctors, Dempsey resurrected his career on Grey's Anatomy several years ago, and there's no looking back.

Sisters Emily & Zooey Deschanel showed up at the "Yes Man" Los Angeles premiere on Dec. 17 wearing black and white, respectively. We wonder if Emily (Bones) and Zooey (Elf, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) planned to dress as opposites. Both are wearing bracelets on their right hands and black and white pantyhose. How clever!

Dig into a world of crime scenes, decayed remains, murder investigations and more with seven unlikely colleagues as Bones Season Three – Totally Decomposed Edition exhumes its way onto DVD November 18th from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

The suspenseful procedural drama stars actress and co-producer Emily Deschanel (Glory Road, That Night) as Dr. Temperance Brennan, a brilliant, highly-skilled forensic anthropologist with a lack of social courtesy, and TV icon David Boreanaz (Angel) as F.B.I. Special Agent Seeley Booth, who despite mistrusting science and scientists, forms ...

After a long and painful summer that saw only a handful of new scripted series due to the writers' strike, the fall TV season is finally here. Hallelujah.

In the coming weeks more than 50 scripted programs will return to the network and cable and airwaves with each making millions of people happy to once again hang out with their old friends. Sports fans always talk about the mythical quality of opening day in football, baseball or basketball. For TV fanatics, being able to watch the shows they love once again carries the same weight.

Occasionally one of the compelling lead actors of a show grabs attention both in character and out of it. David Boreanaz is one of those actors. Famous for starring in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel," the playful prankster now stars aside Emily Deschanel in the crime dramedy "Bones."

During the "Bones" panel at Comic Con on Friday, July 25, Boreanaz brought a bright energy and excitement to the crowd when they would usually be winding down after a long day. The panel consisted of Boreanaz, creator Hart Hanson, and actors Michaela Conlin, Tamara Taylor, and John Francis Daley. T...

What motivates audiences to watch TV shows? Why spend time on a series that will, in all likelihood, repeat storylines, invent contrived hook-ups and ultimately regress into something that challenges the viewer to wonder why he/she even began watching in the first place?

What's worse is that the viewers know this is going on. People sit in front of the boob tube every night knowing that Paula's going to say something stupid (scripted?) on "American Idol" and one of the "ER" doctors (models) is going to sleep with either another doctor (model) or endure an emotional breakdown due to a ...

When offered a chance to make this list I thought, this is a fan boy's dream come true. I actually get to sit down and share who I think would make the best cast for the upcoming Justice League film. My opinions will be laid before you to judge, critique, and get angry over. On second thought, this might not qualify as a dream come true.

While making this list I followed a few self-imposed rules. First, I included only characters that are confirmed to be in the actual film, including the villain Maxwell Lord. You won't see my choices for Zatanna or the Green Arrow, sorry. Second, I ch...

1) Ryan Gosling is easily one of the most underrated male actors in Hollywood today. The Golden Globe-nominated actor made his television debut at a very young age in "The Mickey Mouse Club" alongside future superstars J.C. Chasez and Justin Timberlake of *NSYNC, Christina Aguilera, and Britney Spears.

Gosling has appeared in several movies, including "Remember The Titans," "The Believer," Murder By Numbers," "Stay" and "The Notebook." Gosling didn't receive much recognition for his acting chops until he was nominated for his role as a drug addict teacher in the sleeper hit "Half Nels...

FOX has renewed the hit drama series House and Bones for next season. "House," picked up for its fourth season, stars two-time Golden Globe winner Hugh Laurie as Dr. Greg House, a brilliant and unconventional physician with a brutally honest demeanor.

"Bones," picked up for its third season, stars Emily Deschanel as forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan, who can read clues left behind in victims’ bones, and David Boreanaz as FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth. These unlikely partners take on homicide cases involving human remains most forensic specialists can’t handle.

The new FOX series Justice kicks off tonight at 9 p.m. The show centers on criminal defense attorneys who tackle high-profile cases. A dream team of four lawyers (played by Victor Garber, Kerr Smith, Eamonn Walker and Rebecca Mader) join forces to work on controversial and newsworthy cases.

With their unique skill sets and the power of forensic law, this formidable team becomes indispensable to the law firm of Turk, Nicholson, Tuller & Gaines.

The second season of Bones also kicks off tonight at 8 p.m. The show is an investigative drama inspired by real-life forensic anthropolog...
